Hundreds of doctors in Quebec are banding together to fight against a recent pay raise.

You read that right. They're arguing against a pay raise, not a pay cut.

The doctors said in an open letter that the money should instead be redistributed "for the good of the health care workers and to provide health services worthy to the people of Quebec."

The letter was published online on Feb. 25 and has been gathering signatures since. CNBC reports that so far more than 500 general practitioners, specialists, medical residents and students are on board.

"We, Quebec doctors who believe in a strong public system, oppose the recent salary increases negotiated by our medical federations. These increases are all the more shocking because our nurses, clerks, and other professionals face very difficult working conditions, while our patients live with the lack of access to required services because of the drastic cuts in recent years," the letter reads.

"The only thing that seems to be immune to the cuts is our remuneration."

Doctors in Quebec are making more than ever, according to CBC News. General practitioners made $281,053 (Canadian) in 2015, while specialists were making $472,991. That's about equal to $217,883 and $366,681 in American dollars, respectively.

As CNBC reports, those numbers reflect doctors' gross pay and do not account for high overhead costs doctors must pay to operate in Canada. As the Globe and Mail reports, overhead varies widely by specialty, but doctors have self-reported an average of 26 percent going to facilities, support and other needs.

A study commissioned by the Quebec's Health and Welfare Commissioner also found doctors were working seven fewer days per year on average and seeing fewer patients daily than they were 10 years ago.
